When you decide to get married, you are making a commitment. Not just to each other but declaring to the world that you are here for the long haul.
When a couple speaks their vows, they are stating that they will do what it takes - In sickness and health. Committing to your business in the same way helps you through the tough times. Because the real work begins after the honeymoon period!
Not to mention a business and a marriage are both life-changing - both require trust and respect. Both involve money and require you to work on them daily!
Here are 10 ways to increase your commitment levels to your business:
